There are many Filipinos working and living here in Singapore. With their great numbers, some Singaporean local citizens here have already know how to distinguish the Filipino looks compared from other Asian nationalities, and they also know some Filipino greetings such as "Kumusta" and "Magandang Araw". More than once than I boarded a taxi cab here in Singapore when taxi drivers realize that I am a Filipino, they will put on Freddie Aguilar's old folk song "Anak" on their cassette stereo. They said that the Anak song of Freddie Aguilar was a huge hit here in Singapore which makes me more proud of being a Filipino.
Being apart from our native land (although it's just a 3 hour flight from Manila to Singapore), Filipinos here organized different type of communities here in Singapore. Different pinoy shows/concerts are also showed here occasionally. Filipino food stores in Singapore are also available if you miss the Filipino cuisines back at home. (Filipino stores are mostly located at the Lucky Plaza Mall in Orchard Road. Some Pinoy restaurants can also be found in Lau Pha Sat) Filipinos Here in Singapore love to hang out in Lucky Plaza Mall every Sunday as well. In addition, I have also been informed that some Filipinos are also hanging out in the Chinese Garden.

One Filipino artist who has captured the attention of Singapore's music industry is Rico Blanco (Former Rivermaya band member). He made some series of performances here in Singapore and released an "international" record which was featured in one of the popular daily newspaper here. Obviously, based on their comments, they were quite impressed with the Pinoy talent giving his solo album 4/5 rating.
The Filipino Sports community is one of the most active groups here in Singapore.
Last year, BMPI and Filcras (Filipino Coaches and Referees Association of Singapore) organized a basketball league here with 8 Filipino teams. The opening ceremony was attended by representatives from the Philippine embassy and special guest Singapore Slinger basketball team point guard Al Vergara. Fun, laughter and sportsmanship were shared among the Filipinos throughout the duration of the basketball league. Prizes, Trophies and awards were given to the individual winners and teams. The event was reported back to channel UNTV37 on Manila, Philippines.
